Seasonal depression seems to be a real thing right now, because I'm seeing lots of blog posts reaching out for help. I make sure to always comment and let em know that I'm here to vent to, and that they are not alone.
Unfortunatley helping someone with depression or suicidal ideation isn't as easy as linking a fucking hotline, a lot of times we'll even push you away or act like we dont need help. Every time someone reaches out it helps, even if it doesn't seem like it. Always make sure the people close to you in life especially are reminded that they are loved.
As I've said before, my inbox is always open, and I WILL respond to anybody that needs to talk or vent. Sometimes talking to a stranger on the internet feels better than the feeling of burdening friends. If you're friends ever MAKE you feel like a burden, however, I might be time to find new ones.
So again, I'm always here for anyone that needs it, and make sure you give anyone you know that struggles with mental illness an extra hug today, tomorrow, every day.
